Lobelia is one of the best blue edging plants. 
LARKSPUR 
Annual Delphiniums 
There is, perhaps, no annual in which there has 
been such marked improvement in recent years 
as in annual larkspur. Since the seed requires 
cool conditions for germination, sow it just as 
early as possible in the spring. For very early 
bloom seed may be sown in early September. 
New plantings should be made each year since 
“volunteer’’ seedlings are apt to revert to plants 
with small dull colored blooms. 

Super Majestic Larkspur 
Here is the beginning of a new race of lark- 
spurs. They are an improved Imperial or Base 
Branching type growing 5 feet high with very 
large double flowers set close on the stem. You 
won't know how gorgeous larkspur can be until 
you try these. 
3241—Majestic White. 
3242—Majestic Rose. 
3245—Majestic Lavender. 
Above colors: Pkt. 20c; Lg. Pkt. 30c; 14 Oz. 85c. 
Imperial Base Branching 
There is no comparison between the old strains 
of larkspur and these new base branching varie- 
ties. The plants produce more and longer stems 
and there is a range of clear colors not available 
before. :

mixture of equal amounts of the following six

LOBELIA 
One of the finest edging plants. Seed should be 
started early indoors. The plants spread rapidly, 
carpeting the ground with masses of tiny rich 
blue flowers, against vivid green foliage which, 
in some varieties, turns bronzy in the sun. 
3300—Crystal Palace Compacta. A very com- 
pact variety with a mass of pretty little dark 
blue flowers and dark foliage all summer. 5 in. 
Pkt. 20ce; Lg. Pkt. 40c; 14 Oz. 75c. 
3301—Cambridge Blue. Compact plants with 
graceful light green foliage and clear light 
blue flowers. Pkt. 20c; 4% Oz. 75c. 
3302—Bedding Queen. The most dwarf plant 
with medium dark foliage. Flowers are dark 
blue with white eye. Pkt. 20c; 4% Oz. 75c. 
LAVATERA 
3280—Loveliness (Annual Mallow). Each 
year we are more impressed with this charm- 
ing annual which produces neat, bushy plants 
2 feet high covered with glistening pure pink 
flowers like miniature hollyhocks. The foliage 
turns bronze in cool weather. 
Pkt. 10c; Lg. Pkt. 20c; 4% Oz. 40c. 

The fragrance of mignonette recalls memories of 
grandmother’s garden. 
ANNUAL LUPINS

blue or lilac make this an ideal cut flower. 
Easy to grow from seed; prefers some shade.

MORNING GLORIES 
3474—Pearly Gates. (1942 Silver Medal All-America Winner.) The new 
pure white mammoth-flowered morning glory. It is the same size and 
earliness as Heavenly Blue, and a perfect companion. 
Pkt. 15c; Lg. Pkt. 30c; 14 Oz. 60c; Oz. $1.75. 
3475—Improved Heavenly Blue, or Clark’s Blue. There is no flower 
that can offer quite the same cozy attractiveness to a cottage porch or 
garden. The flowers bloom early and many have a diameter of four 
inches. Pkt. 15c; Lg. Pkt. 30c; 14 Oz. 50c; Oz. $1.50.

MYOSOTIS 
Forget-me-not 
So welcome in the early spring, particularly in 
a shady location and as a ground cover over bulb 
plantings. If the seed is sown this summer the 
plants will start flowering next spring and con- 
tinue to re-sow themselves. 

3493—Royal Blue. A good upright growing 
bright blue. Pkt. 25c; 44 Oz. $1.00. 
Of all the annual climbing vines, morning Glories are 
the most satisfactory.
